no-one seems to be "souping up" their micra,s on here lately micheal, you,re probably best to buy a 1.3 and diy
if i bought a 1300 micra is there anyone willing to put a turbo kit on for me ? and a rough price guide if there is as beyond my knowledge

i,ve sold about 6 manifold/turbo combo,s in the past (£150ish) there might be one knocking around ? then you will need some 300cc injectors and a nistuned ecu ideally.
and if you keep the power at 130 ish, you can get away with the stock engine/box/fuelpump/throttlebody/clutch/sparkplugs etc

Clutch and plugs are advisable

as are super-unleaded and an intercooler, but i,ve been running 8psi during this recent heatwave without all 4 so far (fingers crossed

I have been experiencing backfiring and looking at spark plugs slight silvery goodness.. Det. Ever so slightly. You need to remember I think that others would not be as friendly to their cars as you may do. Cough... Me.. Cough. Have no respect for engines lol.as are super-unleaded and an intercooler, but i,ve been running 8psi during this recent heatwave without all 4 so far (fingers crossed

not sure what you mean chris
but thats what i was on about with the "safe map" and "power map", i could probably have the car tuned on a dyno and gain 10hp or more, because Ed will have loaded a conservative basemap.but i prefer to run with that safety margin personally (like the stock 133hp @ 9+psi glanza map has)

Sorry as per usual my English is ****e I was saying ur map is a safe map. Basically a conservative base map as to not blow anything up. Which might give you that le way to no require other safety measures?not sure what you mean chris

Well see that's great.. But there's the problem he changed the map himself and broke it lol. I wonder what we would get with a metal head gasket and correct mapping...aye
SirChris

He lowered comp with two gaskets iirc. Set blew my ringlands. Still no one has pushed a stock internal CG it seems. Dammit. I need to get this new turbo get a metal hg and just do it.. I shall prove how much we can bloody get. Damn you frank and your indirectly pushing me to this.
Jo and John Whitmore from the good old days pushed the standard CG13 engine fairly hard. They were running around 1bar boost on a 2mm metal gasket from Kappatsu when they were still around. They had a MD84 series T25 turbo from an R5 on there with a 0.48A/R turbine housing and were making around 180bhp. It was reputed to make 200bhp+ but it never saw a dyno and so was never officially recorded.
The car's still about and on the road. Not sure if it's been upgraded since then but Jo and John haven't been on here for at least a decade, so there's no recent info kicking about.

Damn that'd be about right, as iirc they were finishing off the build just about when i first found the forum.
Nice! Good to see you back on here
Quite a difference in <4000rpm torque there beetween runs and an odd blip at 4100rpm. What's happening?

Great figures mate nice to see some good power. Yeah odd spike. Possible map issue causing overfuelling? Or odd retard?
